EV-only leasing company Octopus Electric Vehicles, has offered new customers on-street charging from 22.5p per kWh.

Initially launching at 20,000 chargepoints from on-street charging specialists Ubitricity and Connected Kerb, Octopus plans to roll out the offering to more locations and brands across the UK as well.

Gurjeet Grewal, CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles, commented: “We’re making EV driving cheap for everyone, not just those with driveways. We’ve already helped thousands of drivers switch to electric but the landscape is changing fast, and more people without driveways are becoming EV-curious. With the increased prevalence of affordable kerbside charging and cars, now’s the perfect time to offer drivers a bundle designed for those who can’t charge at home.”

The new deal coincides with Octopus reporting a 36 per cent spike in EV leasing interest, as volatile fuel prices push more consumers towards the stability of electric.

The offer is available for a limited time to new customers leasing an electric vehicle through Octopus EV.
